Been doing the leatherwork for about 15 years. About the same time I quit drinking. I had to get good at something else beside looking at the bottom of an epmty glass. Many people have told me to do this fulltime......nope. The worse feeling in the world is having to make something you don't enjoy making and on a time frame. It is a hobbie. I donate more and more stuff to non-profit groups every year. I give to silent actions for health fundraisers for friends and people I have never met. Many little bars in central MN have my dicecups. I started by giving them away @ first and sell them 1/2 price to the bars. I am making more can and bottle hoders than dicecups lately. Never sold anything 'on line' and do not plan on it either. Have done many wedding party gifts for the groomsmen. Going to my 'mancave' is a special place to be....listen to the blues..and enjoy life.
Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

I use my can holder EVERY day, it's got a Bud ring, and looks great.
I 've had friends ask where I got it... I tell 'em Dicecupmaker...
Good work Mitch, I love it...

You do wonderful work. I donated a print to a silent auction this year, and was thrilled that it helped a very worthy cause that is close to my heart. I agree, art is most wonderful when it is done and shared freely, without the pressure of having it be work.

I have a framing question: Sent Adam a 8x10 flying moose logo today. Was hoping someone would volunteer to frame it for a fund-raiser for the website. Just an FYI if anybody does their own framing out there. E-mail Adam if your interested in this project. Thanx! Namaste
